Sports gamers post here.

I'm addicted to football. And thusly, I've bought a football game pretty much every year. Usually, it's Madden, but I also probably ended up buying all of the 2k games every year (it was the only football game on the Dreamcast and then they made them super cheap BUT still good). I look back fondly on the 2k/Sega sports series and wish it was still around so that EA could have some real competition. Most likely, any push for EA to improve Madden greatly (what the hell changed between '05 and '06? They just lifted the Superstar mode from NCAA Football '06) will have to come from a football game that is probably more street football than actual football.

Blitz: The League tried to accomplish this, but the game is extremely easy to cheese your way through. It had some potential in the storyline aspect, but the gameplay was just so bad to endure long sittings through. And whatever happened to NFL Street? I'd like to see that franchise revived. And NBA Street as well.

I don't think people would get really excited about an ordinary football game that uses non-NFL teams. A great part of the appeal is being able to play as your favorite team. I don't know about you, but even though the NFL Europe teams are in Madden '06, nobody I know uses em.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
